Carrie Newcomer, Parker J. Palmer & Gary Walters
First United Methodist Church 203 Wisconsin Ave., Madison, Wisconsin 53703
Grammy-winning folk artist Carrie Newcomer and activist Parker J. Palmer weave together song and spoken word poetry, exploring themes of living hopefully and mindfully in troubling times. It’s a lofty ambition, but if anyone is to accomplish it, it’s Newcomer. Throughout 25 years of performing, the Michigan-born songwriter has always worn her optimism on her sleeve. The event itself has a good cause as well, with all the proceeds going to Madison-Dane County Courage to Teach, which offers retreats to teachers seeking to reconnect with their passions.
